i have those cravings too... in fact i'm having one right now!!! nice to know i'm not the only one who misses these things. if you're going to make those jellies the only thing i'd say to you is that it has that aspartame stuff in it. some people find that aspartame can stall weight loss but it never stopped me, i think it's pretty much an individual thing for everyone. so just make sure you don't eat too much when starting to use it.
